“Su Bin, how are you?”
Without hesitation, Qin Zhenzhen rushed back to save Su Bin when she heard his response.
“I am fine…” Su Bin replied, but his tone betrayed his true condition – he didn’t sound fine at all.
Qin Zhenzhen became even more worried.
Upon reaching the spot where Su Bin’s accident had occurred, she couldn’t find him. Instead, she only saw traces of something rolling into a nearby ravine. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Su Bin, did you fall into the ditch?” With concern in her eyes, she carefully went down to check.
“I didn’t fall into the ditch, I am here!” came Su Bin’s voice from above.
To her surprise, Qin Zhenzhen felt her anger rise as she realized that Su Bin had set her up!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had pretended to fall into the ditch, tricking her into turning around. Then, he had hidden in the bushes by the roadside and waited for her to pass before rejoining her.
Qin Zhenzhen heard the sound of something rolling down – it turned out to be Su Bin, pushing a huge rock down!
Fuming with anger, she exclaimed, “Using such underhanded methods is unfair!”
With a smirk, Su Bin replied, “All is fair in war!”
Internally, Qin Zhenzhen cursed at the villainous move – he was skilled at taking advantage of people’s weaknesses. She realized that her own kindness had played right into his hands!
Qin Zhenzhen’s competitive spirit refused to accept defeat, and she chased after Su Bin with all her might.
Su Bin, well-versed in the art of trickery, was equally determined not to admit defeat. He gave his best effort to stay ahead.
They soon arrived at the yam field, with Su Bin managing to reach first, closely followed by Qin Zhenzhen, only a few feet behind.
Frustration mounting, Qin Zhenzhen collapsed onto the ground, and to her dismay, Su Bin did the same.
Annoyed by their proximity, she scooted away, saying, “Don’t sit so close to me!”
Su Bin asked, “Are you angry?
Her pride wouldn’t allow her to admit it, so she retorted, “Who’s mad? I don’t need to be mad at people like you!”
He noticed her smile and prodded, “You’re smiling, so you’re not angry?”
Refusing to give in, she snapped back, “Who said that? Stop talking nonsense!”
Internally, Qin Zhenzhen felt irritated by her own childish behavior. She considered herself a mature girl who shouldn’t act this way.
Trying to placate her, Su Bin said, “Don’t be mad. The competition doesn’t really count, right?”
Though she wanted to remain silent, her pride made her snort in response, not wanting to say a word.
Attempting to calm her down further, Su Bin offered, “Alright, let’s break the rules. You can be the winner, how about that?”
At that moment, Qin Zhenzhen had wanted to declare herself the winner all along!
But Su Bin added, “I did not want to trick you, but I was worried that you would win, so I made one request that I could not do.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, Qin Zhenzhen looked at him with a deep gaze. “What are you worried about?”
Su Bin didn’t provide a direct answer but instead smiled and said, “You fell into the trap, which means that you are worried about me.”
This comment reignited Qin Zhenzhen’s annoyance towards Su Bin. However, her attention was quickly diverted when she spotted a young man digging yams near their home.
Someone had arrived so early to potentially steal their yams? The thought of such unethical behavior infuriated her.
For a moment, Qin Zhenzhen forgot about arguing with Su Bin and pointed towards the young man, asking, “Look at who is up there. Is he stealing our yams?”
Su Bin glanced over and replied, “It seems to be Brother Shanmin. What is he doing here?”
“Let’s go up and take a look,” Qin Zhenzhen suggested.
Just as Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen were about to head up, Su Lan and the others arrived at the scene.
Su Ning, eager to know the outcome of their competition, asked loudly, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, which one of you arrived first and won?”
Su Bin, still smiling, chose not to answer.
Qin Zhenzhen found it difficult to respond as well, so she swiftly changed the subject. “Look, who is that? Is he stealing our yams?”
Su Ning explained, “He’s not stealing. He’s actually helping us dig the yams..”
